2018 Ferrari 488 GTB Price and Specs

2018 Ferrari 488 GTB Price and Specs – The powerful successor to Ferrari 458 Italia has been introduced. The fact that 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB is primarily a racing car is not supposed to be an impediment for a non-professional driver to enjoy the sensation it offers to the fullest.

Exterior

Even at first glance, it’s apparent that exterior design was inspired by its predecessor; especially when you obeserve the front: the bumper, the headlamps and the way the fenders are shaped. A new splitter design gives it a less smooth and a more aggressive look. The tailights have been redesigned to be a bit larger, with the grilles that look like dark-surrounded hollows. Instead of the three-pipe exhaust, there are two huge outlets placed on the sides of the center section of the diffuser. Finally, there’s a whole new, sophisticated aerodynamic underbody.

Interior

The interior is, much like the exterior, reminiscent of 458 Italia. Some of the newly introduced features are the center console of minimalistic design with much less buttons, the separation of the tunnel and the dashboard, and the new, original cozy seats. Also, new design of the key allows keyless starts.

Performance

Its new 3902 cc V8 turbo is at the top of its class for power output, torque and response times. Overall displacement is 3.9 l. The engine releases 660 hp at 8,000 rpm along with 760 Nm of maximum torque in seventh gear and a response time to the accelerator of just 0.8 seconds at 2,000 rpm.

The gearbox features Variable Torque Management which unleashes the engine’s massive torque smoothly and powerfully right across the rev range.

As per usual, Ferrari’s engineers have put a great effort into perfecting the 488 GTB’s sound, thus creating a full, clear and distinguished soundtrack.

The 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB’s electronic controls make its power and performance instantly available and controllable. It is, in fact, the most responsive production model there is, with unbelievably sharp response times.

Price and release date
